Chapter 10

Lin Ji and Lu Cong soon arrived at Yuanwai Liu's house.

Before entering the door, he saw a white lantern was hung on the door of Liu Yuanwai's house, and an official in a policeman's clothes was yelling at some gangsters.

"I said, are you blind? You don't even know if the lantern is hung crooked?"

"What about the fourth child? It takes so long for someone to write an elegiac couplet? Don't just take my money to drink flowers and wine."

A little gangster replied tremblingly: "Second Master, this Liu family's affairs are too weird. It's not that the brothers don't want to do things well. The key... The key is to be afraid."

When Song Er went up, he gave the little bastard a headache.

"Aren't you afraid of me? Work quickly."

Seeing this scene, Lin Ji chuckled instead.

"This Song Er doesn't have a regular shape on weekdays, but the commander has a decent appearance."

"Anyway, it's not a good thing." Lu Cong said expressionlessly.

Song Er is just an ordinary catcher in the yamen, but he has a good brother.

His elder brother Song Da is the leader of the Tiger Head Gang in Qingyang County, and he can be regarded as the leader of the local hooligans. He is an out-and-out local snake.

Although local hooligans are hateful, one thing is good, that is, they are well-informed.

In this part of Qingyang County, if there is any trouble, even if it is such a trivial matter as a young lady being groped secretly, clues can be found within minutes.

No way, too much eyeliner.

Moreover, the brothers of the Song family are considered smart people, they know how to cooperate with the yamen, and they also know how to control their subordinates.

Therefore, the reputation of the Tiger Head Gang in Qingyang County is not bad. Although it is indispensable for the shady activities of the three sects, but Lin Ji and the others see each other on weekdays. As long as it is not too much, they will not kill them all.

On the other side, Song Er noticed Lin Ji and Lu Cong very sharply.

"Butou Lin is back? It's been a tough business trip, why don't you set up a table in Ruyilou to welcome Butou Lin?" Song Er hurriedly came to Lin Ji.

"Let's handle the case first." Lin Ji patted Song Er on the shoulder, and then led Lu Cong into the Liu family mansion.

After entering the door and passing the screen wall, it is the lobby of Liu's house.

In the past, this was the place where Yuanwai Liu met guests, but now, four corpses were placed in the lobby.

Liu Yuanwai and his wife, plus Liu Yuanwai's parents.

There are five members of the family, only daughter Liu Lingling is sitting on a chair beside her, weeping again and again.

Seeing Lin Ji appearing, Liu Lingling got up quickly.

"I've seen Catcher Lin."

"I am sorry for your loss."

Lin Ji led Lu Cong to put incense on the deceased, and then asked: "Miss Liu, we are here to solve the case, so we must touch the dead body, you see."

Liu Lingling hesitated for a moment.

The dead are big, and shouldn't be disturbed anymore.

But thinking of the unknown death of her parents and grandparents, she finally nodded.

"Trouble arresting Lin."

"Should be."

Seeing the host's consent, Lin Ji did not delay, and took the lead in removing the white cloth covering Liu Yuanwai's body.

Press the abdomen in the same way.

"Sure enough, the liver and kidneys are also missing."

Lin Ji checked the bodies of the two old men again, and it was the same.

But when Lin Ji checked Mrs. Liu for the last time, he found something was wrong.

"Huh? The liver and kidneys are still there."

Lin Ji looked at Liu Lingling: "Miss Liu, the cause of Lingtang's death is different from that of your father and the two old people."

"My mother died of a chronic heart disease. This is an old problem. She was cured after receiving medical treatment a few years ago. But just last night, my mother suddenly suffered from an old disease."

"Heart disease?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, and looked at Lu Cong who was beside him.

"There is such a thing, everyone in the county knows about it." Lu Cong nodded, "Mrs. Liu has always been sick. Over the years, Mr. Liu has consulted all the doctors in the county, but they are helpless. Doctors from the capital said they were helpless after seeing it.”

Lin Ji pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Miss Liu, who cured Ling Tang's illness?"

"Grandma Hua."

"Grandma Hua?" Lin Ji frowned: "Is there such a person in our county?"

"I've never heard of it." Lu Cong shook his head.

Liu Lingling quickly explained: "Grandma Hua was invited back by my father a few years ago, and my mother suffered from heartache again that day. After my father invited Granny Hua back, he drank a bowl of soup for my mother, and then my mother recovered."

"The doctors in the county can't do anything, and the doctors in the capital can't do anything, and then Granny Hua cured your mother's illness with a bowl of soup?" Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I was right there at the time, and I could see it clearly. It was really just a bowl of medicine."

Speaking of this, Liu Lingling suddenly said: "And Granny Hua didn't ask for a reward at the time, she just said that the Liu family owed her a favor, and she will come to ask for it in the future."

"And then? Is Granny Hua here?" Lin Ji hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I lived at my grandfather's house for two months, and I just came back from my grandfather's house a few days ago, and then these things happened yesterday." Liu Lingling sobbed again softly.

At this moment, Lu Cong who was on the side whispered, "Boss, there is something wrong with this Granny Hua's behavior."

Lin Ji glanced at Lu Cong in surprise.

"Yo, are you enlightened?"

"Hey."

"Let's ask the Liu family's servants first, they should know something."

"Boss Lin, all the family servants have escaped, and we can't find anyone now." Liu Lingling said from the side.

"What happened yesterday, but how far can you escape today?" Lin Ji waved his hands indifferently, and asked Lu Cong, "I remember the name of the housekeeper of the Liu family?"

"Old man Li, his family lives on the west side." Lu Cong replied.

"Go and bring the man back."

Lu Cong grew up in Qingyang County since he was a child, so he naturally knows everything about the county.

In less than half an hour, he brought a trembling old man to Lin Ji.

After Lao Li entered the lobby, he kowtowed to the four corpses respectfully, and then looked at Liu Lingling.

"Miss, I am old and old, and I have only a few days to live."

Liu Lingling shook her head and said, "Grandpa Li, I don't blame you. You have worked in my house all your life, and it's time to take care of yourself. When you leave, I will pay 50 taels of silver to the accountant for your retirement."

"Miss, the cashier is gone too." Old man Li said with a bitter face.

For a moment Liu Lingling didn't know what to say.

Old man Li looked at Lin Ji again.

"What's the reason Catcher Lin asked the little old man to come here?" Old man Li was a little terrified.

"I don't make it difficult for you, just say what you ask, and go back to hug your grandson after you finish speaking."

Old man Li quickly agreed.

Lin Ji asked directly: "I just heard from Ms. Liu that Mrs. Liu was cured by a woman named Granny Hua. Do you know about this?"

As soon as these words came out, old man Li's face instantly turned pale.

"I know."
